A Shot A Day – 2016 (03/13/2016)

“Dragon’s Breath”

Likely my last trip to see the Orchid’s at the Franklin Park Conservatory this year. A little focus stacking work in this series of shots, for some extra depth of field in this image.

This image is a combination of over 50 individual focus stacking shots. When focus stacking careful attention must be paid to image alignment, camera settings (in particular focus mode and exposure mode) and movement of the camera.
